I live in Oxford House - MegDavis in Lynchburg. Oxford Houses are democratically self-governing and self-supporting under the Oxford House system of operations.
Oxford has given me an opportunity to learn to live a normal life. Living with women who have longer recovery helps me get my life together. I would not be where i am today without this opportunity.
I support rules that keep people safe, but rules that require staff or assume every home is a commercial business would keep Oxford Houses from operating in Virginia, even though research shows our model gets the best results. Please change those rules, and please clarify whether house members are considered the operator.
